On March 17, 183 content moderators employed in Nairobi by Sama, a Meta subcontractor, filed a lawsuit in a local court, alleging “unlawful” termination by the social media behemoth.
On Thursday, a Kenyan court found that it has the authority to hear an appeal from almost 200 people who claim that a subcontractor for Facebook’s parent corporation Meta fired them in violation of the law.
Additionally, it claims that Meta itself does not employ the complainants. But Labor Relations Court Judge Mathews Nduma Nderi disagreed.
